Lie To Me
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Episodes: 16
Cast: Hong Soo Hyun, Jo Yoon Hee, Kang Ji Hwan, Yoon Eun Hye, Sung Joon
SYNOPSIS:
"Gong Ah Jung, a level 5 Ministry of Culture official, gets entangled in a web of lies when she mistakenly lies that she's married to Hyun Ki Joon, a hotel manager from an affluent family. Their relationship is further complicated when Ki Joon's ex-fiancée and a close friend of his brother's, Oh Yoon Joo, reappears in his life."
REVIEW:
I really liked this drama. I really do not know what more to say about it, though. There's nothing overly unique about the storyline, but there's also no real errors in it's production. The first ten episodes were addicting. During that time, I was completely addicted to this show. It's one of those shows that gets you hooked real quickly. After the first ten episodes, though, there were a few episodes I contemplated just skipping altogether. Truthfully, one episode was barely worth watching because I could tell exactly what was going to happen. However, I did end up watching all the episodes, and I am glad to say that it was worth the time I spent to watch it.

Coffee Prince

Rating: *****
Episodes: 17
Genre: Gender Bender, Romance, Comedy
Cast: Chae Jung Ahn Gong Yoo, Kim Ja Ok, Lee Sun Gyun, Yoon Eun Hye
"The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his "homosexuality"? "
Rewatching this drama made me smile. With a great storyline, dialogue, casting, and production, I found this drama very fun. I could go on about this drama, but it's probably best if you just watch it for yourself.
